The Indego is still ok!

I write no other reviews, but now I have to jump for the Indigo into the breach. In my case, unfortunately, the first unit was out of order, it could not be loaded because the transformer was broken (only 30 V voltage instead of the necessary 42 V). Thanks Amazon replacement came the very next day. The new device could be loaded and also took equal his work on, but what a disappointment, the Indigo drove aimlessly back and forth in the garden and was always crazy. Phone calls to the Bosch service 071140040460 brought no solution and led there only to bewilderment. The solution eventually brought a more intensive look at the admittedly meager operating instructions. There is at Figure 7 a guide for laying the perimeter wire listed a drawing by far the brands that contain a fatal mistake! In addition, it is said in this connection in the written explanation on this point: around trees, ponds flowerbeds et cetera within the lawn must be laid clockwise the perimeter wire. The lines to and from these areas should be allowed to touch but not intersect. The last sentence is complete nonsense. He leads namely to the fact that the Indigo in mapping does not follow this etc.geführten around the flowerbeds wire, but follows at the intersection along only the outer perimeter wire! In order for the edged face of the flowerbed is not saved, etc. and also not guided by this surface induction wire. When the Indigo now comes after mapping for the first time on these unsaved wire, sets him a madness: he thinks he is on the outer perimeter wire and driving wildly back and forth, and sometimes does not even back to the charging station.

The solution is quite simple: the flower beds around the et cetera-operated perimeter wire, ie the outward and return needs, not at a distance of 1 cm (as indicated in the drawing) but at least 30 cm out! Then the indigo leaves in mapping from this wire and stores this bulge in his garden map. After I had made this change and had carried out a new mapping (please but the old card delete previously) attracts the Indigo good laps, but sometimes remain standing and to reorient and returns to its charging station at the end back. This problem, of course, does not occur in a garden, which has a simple structure and does not contain such bulges.

Whoever adheres to the operating instructions and has a garden which has one or two such projections, will never bring the Indigo and running. Although my garden is a little bumpy, the Indego remained never are. However, he steadfastly refuses, always mow the edge, you can adjust what you want, sometimes it goes along the edge and sometimes not. Here Bosch still has to rework the software programming for the mowing time seems to be ok, the Indigo has already automatically set off on two different days, however, the display is a disaster, as well as the user manual, in fact a world company like Bosch inappropriate. That's why only four stars. I'm curious how long Bosch needs to alert its customers to this deficiency and subsequently supply correct installation instructions.

Addendum of 23/05/2013: the Indigo pulls with me now for three weeks without hesitation his paths, the lawn looks perfect like a rug! Unfortunately, there is to report an error: the Indigo is connected via a radio signal while working with the base station, it loses the radio signal, for any reason (for example, because a car passes or an underground cable for the garden lighting is so moved with me) then remains the Indigo stand at this point and the green LED in the base unit flashes (also this is not correct as described in the operating instructions). The solution is again quite simple: you have to interrupt the power supply to the base station for at least 15 seconds, then the base station logs back together with the Indigo and this departs from the place where he has stood still, without objection on. But what to do when the Indigo set to automatic and you're not at home? I have a digital timer in the power supply to the transformer is set so that it cuts off the power supply within the time window for mowing after the normal mowing for about 1 minute. After the interruption of Indigo continues and mows to the end. Unfortunately, all is not well described in the operating instructions, it is not about the wireless connections, there are five channels to choose from more informed about how to restore a broken radio link. Even my Erachtensdie are most errors of Indigo during operation as described by other reviewers, probably due to the fact that is too fast dodged on the keys. The Indigo obviously has a very slow processor, which take a long time to go up from hibernation and then to load even the card data. So once long and vigorously press the relevant button and then wait. As a digital timer I recommend also available on Amazon Trixie reptiles switching device that can be adjusted easily and accurately operates.

Supplement of 27 October 2014: the Indego worked perfectly throughout the year, there were no more deficits, after I had changed in the spring of the wire guide something. Nevertheless, it naturally remains at the miserable manual, but which one does not need later.
